Meghan Markle Stripped of Invictus Games Role Amidst Controversy
Reports have surfaced that Meghan Markle's involvement in the Invictus Games closing ceremony has been abruptly revoked by host Hadnet Tesfaye.
According to new sources, Meghan Markle will no longer be participating in the event, leaving many puzzled and curious about the reasons behind this sudden decision.
It appears that the German Ministry of Defense firmly declined Meghan's spokesperson's request for her participation alongside Prince Harry in a live interview scheduled for September 9.
German media outlets have reported that Meghan is not taking this decision lightly, as her spokesperson persistently advocates for her involvement.
Adding to the speculation are rumors surrounding the availability of helicopters for transportation, further fueling the noise surrounding the issue.
A spokesperson for the Invictus Games has confirmed to German media that Meghan will not be delivering a speech during the closing ceremony.
Initially, Meghan was expected to play a special role alongside presenter Hadnet Tesfaye in moderating the stories of war-disabled competitors and their families on the Invictus Games website.
However, this information has mysteriously disappeared from the site, leading to the assumption that Hadnet Tesfaye will now handle this role alone.
Critics argue that Meghan Markle is not suitable for the Invictus Games, claiming that she has done very little for veterans aside from using them for self-promotion.
Some also suggest that the Invictus Foundation might have responded to public feedback and concerns regarding Harry and Meghan's involvement.
There are even calls for Harry to be removed as their patron due to his controversial speech regarding British support for veterans returning from Afghanistan.
Meghan's removal from speaking or moderating roles could potentially be a consequence of the growing unpopularity and complaints against her.
Major sponsors such as Disney and Boeing reportedly threatened to withdraw funding or support if Meghan were to give a speech, given the negative associations currently surrounding her.
Consequently, the organizers of the Invictus Games had no choice but to distance themselves from Meghan.
Speculation arises that Meghan may have desired a prominent role at the Invictus Games to divert media attention from other significant events, such as the one-year anniversary of the Queen's death and Prince William's visit to New York City.
Some even speculate that the organizers grew weary of Meghan's demands, leading to her removal from the event.
As a result of Meghan's exclusion, there are predictions of potential drama in Montecito, as Harry's absence from the Invictus Games might provoke Meghan to express her displeasure by not attending either.
Observers note that Rita Ora's performance adds intrigue to the situation, as she has been associated with Harry in charitable functions and has previously commented on Meghan and Harry.
Amidst these developments, Meghan's behavior during the Netflix docuseries, Heart of Invictus, has caught attention.
